Julia goes to soccer for preschoolers on Wednesday mornings. It teaches them the basics of soccer (don't use your hands!) and gives them a chance to run off some energy.

The fall session is held outdoors, and Julia has had great weather so far (this is the third week). I'm not sure which game she's playing in the picture below, but she's certainly having fun!

Run, Julia, run! And kick the ball!

Here Julia is playing one of her favorite games - steal the tail. Everyone has a jersey tucked into their pants (like a tail), and they have to run around and grab other kids' tails. Julia is speedy, so she usually has two or three tails by the end of the game.

At the end of her 45-minute class, Julia helps pick up the cones by pretending they are ice cream cones and her soccer ball is a scoop of ice cream. Very clever!
